Ship Repair Help

Post by specie1 »

I'm playing as japan and i have only 1 ship in the tokyo shipyard. It has durability of 61 and has flotation damage of 31. No matter what i do it doesn't progress. Any ideas please? i've tried readiness and pier side also and both showed a big X.

You need to put into a repair shipyard. If Tokyo is not large enough, then move the BB to a base that has a repair shipyard that is large enough.

Do you have the ship assigned to Shipyard Repair?

How many days are being estimated for completion of repairs?

A screenshot would be helpful in diagnosing your problem.

Major Flotation Damage takes a while to repair. Watch the "Repair Points" counter in the upper right of your screen shot. It should keep progressing. 27 days is just an estimate.

And quit changing repair modes. Changing repair modes resets the counter.

A ship in repair might say 10 days to repair...but that is not carved in stone, and it may take longer depending on other ships in the repair quay, the number of engineers located there, naval support personnel, supply, AG's, AR's, etc..
Some of this does not apply to Tokyo, but some does...You need to be aware of these factors.

It shows you it'll take 65 days to repair and that's just an estimate. The ship has 16 fl and 10 eng damage. You won't see any fix for 3-4 days with those numbers. You need some patience here, these types of vessels will not be repaired overnight.

Supply has nothing to do with it. Again you're bouncing this vessel all over the place. You're certainly not going to get anywhere if you remain so impatient.

Large vessels with high durability take time to repair. That simple.

It takes time, don't be impatient. It takes one woman nine months to make one baby. Nine women will not take one month to make one baby. Put it in the shipyard had leave it alone for one week and then look at it. You will see a change then.

65 days / (16 float and 10 engine) = 65 days / 26 points of major damage = 2.5 days per major damage point on average so in three days there should be one point less. Fractions here would round up but the work on the next damage point would continue to accrue. But the repair time is also an estimate. Sometimes things take longer. Sometimes a baby takes ten months . . .
Seek peace but keep your gun handy.

RangerJoe thanks. That is a very good explanation. And it is happening as you describe.
